__enable_port(9)

💅 __enable_port — like, the port's slave finally gets permission to be

okay so before we even start: this little cutie lives in the Kernel API Manual, section 9 (the kernel-functions girlies), and her whole personality is "turn the slave on if it's already up." That's it. That's the function. Iconic behavior honestly.

---

✨ NAME ✨

__enable_port — enable the port's slave, if it's up 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void __enable_port (struct port *port );

no return value bestie, it's a void — it just does the thing and leaves 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• port — the port we're looking at 👀 that's the whole vibe, this is the struct you're passing in

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea: this one enables both the collecting and the distributing on the port's slave. Both of them. Not one, not the other — both 💖

like, if you came here for "just collecting" you're in the wrong function, but if you want the full set, she ate and left no crumbs ✨

that's the whole page babes 🎀 this one came out of ./drivers/net/bonding and it's dated October 2026, so like, she's from the future and still just vibing with section 9 energy 👑✨ no cap, go read the whole bonding chapter, iykyk 💖
